This sort of thing just doesn't happen here.

Guys, there was a TORNADO warning for my area. WTF? My mom and I were sitting in the family room and there was all this thunder, like right over our house, it was pretty freaky. It sounded like we were under attack. Then there was all this hail, and then the news cut in with a tornado warning! Crazy! People are reporting funnel clouds. Nothing, you know, huge. But anything here is pretty big.

My littlest sister is probably freaking out right now. My mom promised her we'd never have to worry about tornadoes here.

I seriously barely pay attention to tornado anymore. Then again, I do live in Illinois.

Also, if you don't know much about tornados...was it actually a tornado warning? That's pretty crazy. Tornado watches are much more common, since they just mean conditions are right for a tornado to maybe show up. A warning means they've actually seen a funnel cloud...

I love storms. :)

Welcome to my life in Chicago - every afternoon from 3pm to 5pm.... May through Sept.

Yikes, stay safe!

We had a tornado here earlier in the week, and it was unusual because it's January, but still, it's Tornado Alley. We pretty much expect them anytime. We grew up doing tornado drills in school. That's what makes me worry about areas that aren't tornado prone, do people know what to do, or even know the difference between a Watch and a Warning?

What does one even do in a tornado? Go to the basement or stand against a wall away from a window?? I have no clue.
